Question: Who were the top 5 strongest or most notable women in history!?
and I'm not talking about literal strength necessarilyWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Agrippina Minor, mother of Nero Caesar- she was basically empress of Rome for a time!.

EmpressTheodora- Went from dancer/prostitute to Empress of Byzantine Empire!.

Sapho- Only notable female ancient Greek poet!. Her poetry is amazing!. And our definition of lesbian comes from her home island Lesbos, she is the frist notable lesbian!.

Joan D'Arc- A young girl lead a completely demoralized army to defeat a seemingly unstoppable English Army!. Only to be a heroic martyr!.

Isabella of Castile- Won the Reconquista, united Spain, Started Spanish Inquasition, discovered and subdued the New World!.!.all done under her reign!.

Elisabeth I of England- I hate to admit it!. First sole Queen in England, Defeated Spanish Armada, Patronised Shakespeare, brought England to Glory!.

but not Cleopatra- She was vassel queen of an allready subdued Egypt!. She failed to have her son acknowledged as heir of Caesar, She failed to hold off Caesar Augustus, she was a bad influence on Marcus Antonius, and killed herself, and was ugly with a hooked nose!. She lost!. But she is remembered for some reason!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would put cleopatra somewhere up there!.!.!.everyone knows her!.
I was also going to suggest margaret thatcher!.!.!.but perhaps not lol!.
Oh, and Emmeline Pankhurst for dying for woman's vote deserves to be in the top 3!
My personal 5 would consist of, (in no particular order!)
* Cleopatra
* Emmiline Pankhurst
* Marie Curie
* Joan of arc
* Mother theresa!
There's also a few more, such as Ghandi, frida kahlo etc!.
